Hello everyone, I went to the largest antique/flea market in Europe, it was in Lille,France and has 100 miles of stalls, daunting and exhausting as well. I bought a huge crucifix with an exquisitely carved Jesus in ivory for 18 euros,total bargain!
I also bought this, is it a medicine bottle or a snuff bottle? I am not even sure of its composition..have a look for me, its not a thing of beauty but I think it has age.

Hi Max !

Sounds like that was quite a antique flea market !

Looks like a snuff bottle rather than a medicine bottle.

I am not an expert with porcelain, but sure does look like it has some age.

Any markings on the bottom ?
